I assume FPM, 70 ns. This could only be verified for each computer by examining how the chips are labeled and looking it up. "Very often, you can identify the speed of a module by the part number on the chip: such part numbers end in "-6" for 60ns, "-7" for 70ns, and so on." <http://www.kingston.com/tools/umg/umg05b.asp> > > 2) I'm using a NewerTech Maxpower G4/400 processor.
